Seedcamp partner Carlos Espinal gave a talk at the AIBE Summit 2017 on venture capital investment in Artificial Intelligence. With one of the largest AI portfolios held by an early-stage investor in Europe, including companies like ThirdEye, Reinfer and Viz.ai, Carlos discusses the areas in which Seedcamp has invested to date and why, as well as wider funding trends.\n\nCarlos recalls the history of previous \u2018AI Winters\u2019, in which valuations dry up and scepticism abounds, and explains why right now it\u2019s a great time to be an entrepreneur working with artificial intelligence. He argues that AI, like mobile in 2007, is no longer a standalone category but a technological enabler, unlocking value in healthcare, security and other sectors. \n\n\nThe slides to his talk can be found here: sdca.mp/AIslides\nRead more from Carlos on the topic of artificial intelligence and its potential to become 'the new mobile' here: sdca.mp/AIisnow \n\nShow notes:\nCarlos Medium: sdca.mp/2entVR3\nSeedcamp: www.seedcamp.com\nAIBE Summit: www.aibesummit.com\n\n\nMore on the AIBE Summit:\nThe AIBE Summit is a conference on artificial intelligence in business & entrepreneurship.
